there was levity in every word that crawls from underneath your skin i keep impeding progress with every word that crawls from underneath my skin i'm still measuring distance between you and i in smiles and waves the disconnect still grows and grows and grows i found a light i put it out because you can't hate what you can't see tore you apart i'm wide awake but under sheets sleep evades me like the plague i keep hiding pieces of myself in places you can't find i'll only see you in my sleep your dead skins been weighing on my chest since i left i can't breathe i'll only see you when i'm dead i held so tightly to every promise that you made i watched them crumble into pieces in my hands
